Friday, November 22, 2019 - Kelvin T's 40th Birthday (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Tanjong Pagar): The sole baby Cristal coming before of the trio of mature Krugs - this struck a very different tone, but was absolutely lovely even in its youth. It had such a pretty nose, with cream custard, strawberries, sweet apples and perfumed florals, with a bit of brioche on the side. Beautiful. It was still really youthful on the palate, with fine mousse and lemony acidity racing through beautifully pure, focused flavours of green apples and lemons pierced by a lovely minerally spine. Primary and a bit clenched, but this was such a wonderfully pure, refined mouthful. A Champagne of incredible finesse I thought. Still a bit tight and unyielding, but this is bursting with potential.
